I like the SEP phrasing better, even though it's only slightly different:
"we are powerless to do anything other than what we actually do"
Feels more sensible because the tenses are not jumbled.
I can't think of a meaning one sentence has that the other one doesn't, so I'm happy to use your preferred sentence.
